Bo Diddley

[achilles118]

rock on

[Rainier]

Buddy Holly added.

[Fixxxer]

I will say that this thread will -never- include all the musical talent that has passed, the list is just far too long. But how on earth did you miss Elvis Presley?

/boggle

[Rainier]

i was going to get to that next actually, im working on another list to add all at one time. just firgured I'd get Buddy Holly in yesterday because it was the 49th anniversary of his death

[Rainier]

Elvis Presley, Jim Morrison, Ray Charles and Janis Joplin added.

[Mutt_Dog]

Rock on dude.

[Fixxxer]

James Brown? Rick James?

[achilles118]

fix is right this thread will never be complete but the combined talent on the list already is astounding

[Rainier]

hopefully i'll be up there sometime... but not too soon

[Rainier]

James Brown? Rick James?

Yeah I'm also fixing on getting Tupac up there when I get the time (along with those two)

[Rainier]

the above three added.

[Mutt_Dog]

George Harrison is missing as well...you have John Lennon but no George Harrison.

[Rainier]

duly noted.

[Rainier]

added

[Rainier]

Chet Atkins added too.

its amazing how much of this I can get done when I call in sick.

[Mutt_Dog]

Good job on adding Chet Atkins...big props on adding country to the list besides the Man in Black Johnny Cash, but how about Patsy Cline? Conway Twitty? Keith Whitley? Waylon Jennings? Chris Ledoux? Buck Owens? Minni Pearl? Roy Rodgers? Hank Williams Sr? Tammy Wynette?

Just to name a few!

[Rainier]

To tell ya the truth, I'm not too keen on country music. Not a big fan. Not saying it sucks, just not my style. But, gimme a while, and those names will be up there too.

[Mutt_Dog]

Understandable, not many people like country people, but since this is a shrine to music legends, they are music legends in there own right .

[Rainier]

True. I don't discriminate... except when it comes to Breaking Benjamin.
